After about 15 claims were identified with strikingly similar features, the cases were case managed together as an alleged fraud ring. At trial 5 claims remained, each with multiple Claimants, which were ordered to be heard together over 10 days before the presiding civil judge in Nottingham, HHJ Godsmark QC. After a 10 day trial, the claims were rejected (save one in which the damages were very substantially reduced), and the judge made a finding that they were part of a fraud ring.
